We spend so much
time living life, yet not enough time thinking about what are we doing alive.
Ponder over the purpose of life, our existence, which is responsible for our
creation and what happens when we leave. If you don't want to think about where
you came from, at least think about where you are going to go when it's all
over.
Pictures
are made to be put in an Art Gallery.
For when you go into an Art Gallery, you go to see the
picture, not the frame. It’s the picture that has the ability to tell the
stories. For when you examine the picture you must be able to see it clearly.
It must be up high on the wall, where all can see. You don’t hide it under a
bush or put it under a mattress, or bury it like a talent under the ground. It
must be exposed, or it can never tell a story. Like the eagles in the painting,
they were creating to abide high up, under the shadow of thee All-Mighty. To
make their nest upon the solid rock, as close as possible to the SON
(sun).
Therefore, you are created for greatness and to live
on the word and to abide in the presence of the SON (sun) for ever. Amen
to that.
I am an artist and I paint
many pictures, I also like to collect oil paintings which I hang on the walls
in my house. Five years ago I bought an oil painting which I loved. I decided
to give it to a friend unframed. For whatever reason she never got it framed
and in the process it got a big crease down the middle.
I said to her; “if you are
not going to use it I would like it back”. At that time she put it under her
son’s mattress to press it and tries to get the crease out. It was my birthday
the next day so I took the oil painting to my neighbour who is a Christian and
a good friend. My friend Steve is a master craftsman and owns a business called
“Art for Life”.
I said to Steve. “Can you please
fix this crease and also frame it”. He said “I can fix it Matthew, in all the
years that I have been framing oil paintings I have been unable to find someone
good enough who can work for me and know what to do in regards to framing. It
takes a special talent and skill by observing the colour of the picture and
matching it to a frame”.
Anyway, Steve framed it for
me and gave it to me for my birthday. Two weeks later I went to work with him
on Saturday and he showed me thousands of oil paintings. One really jumped out
at me. One of the Lord Jesus Christ carrying the cross through the narrow
streets, just before He is about to die. This picture has 17 hidden messages
which you could miss if you did not look hard enough.
My friend Steve said “I put the painting at
the front of my shop and also put a sign next to it stating” – “see if you can
find all the hidden messages”. One man came in and said he would like to buy
it. Steve asked, “did you notice any of the hidden messages that are in it’?
He said “What hidden
messages”! Steve showed him Jesus carrying the cross and revealed all the rest
to him. When the man realized what was revealed, he freaked out, was not
interested and left in a hurry.
The word of Father
(I AM) came unto me and in a still voice. “Matthew, you know your friend Steve who
fixed your oil painting for you, which has three eagles on it. Well, they the
eagles represent those who claim to follow me. Who are of the Jewish faith, the
Christian faith and the Moslem faith! Sura 2:62-87 - I have given them all many talents, gifts and callings,
to bring glory to my NAME. But because of fear, insecurity and what people might
think who they are, most of them have hidden their talents (gold, silver, time
and energy) under the mattress where no-one can see.
Just because your friend
thought that the crease had ruined the oil painting and could not afford to
frame it, had not realized that if she went to thee Master Craftsman, He would
have straighten out the flaw by the might of his power and also would have
framed it at no expense to whom had asked for it.
Pictures are made to be put in an
Art Gallery.
For when you go into
an Art Gallery, you go to see the picture, not the frame. It’s the picture that
has the ability to tell the stories. For when you examine the picture you must

You don’t hide it under a bush or put it under a mattress, or bury it like a

the eagles in the painting, they were creating to abide high up, under the
shadow of thee All-Mighty. To make their nest upon the solid rock, as close as
possible to the Son (sun). The Gospel According to Thomas Chapter 15:18
Therefore, you are created for
greatness and to live on
(feed from and
drink from) the word and to abide in the presence of the abiding SON (sun) for ever. Amen to that.
Understand this, saith the Lord God Almighty, “I
AM THE MASTER CRAFTSMAN, I am the frame maker, and I also paint pictures of
myself in your life. If you cannot afford the frame or fix the flaws in the
picture, I can.
Notice the frame, it has flaws,
cracks, dents and bangs.
It is dusty and fading. Do not worry about the frame because
you cannot change it, even if you have a face lift, or you feel you are
cracking up, or feel like a truck has run over you.
For the frame represents your human body and I am painting
pictures of myself in you. If you need a face lift, I can fix it. Mankind
cannot fix it because it is a spiritual problem and he lacks skills to deal
with it. Because of this spiritual vacuum and only a man of substance can fill
the gaps in. This man has to have divine
qualities and have human qualities; otherwise He cannot meet the conditions
required.
This Man is my SON, the Lord Jesus Christ.
I am painting a picture of the new man (inner man) known as your spirit
being.
In all the pictures I paint I leave hidden messages to those who are
willing to see.
The Gospel According to Thomas Chapter 1:1-3,
1:13
Those who are unwilling will go away blind and full in the gutter. He
that has eyes let him see what my Spirit is DOING. For I will reveal Divine
TRUTHS to you when you seek with all your HEART. For I the Father (I AM)
has revealed this to you”.
As I was saying, Father has given me the ability to paint
many pictures. All my paintings are of a divine nature and are therefore
originals. All my paintings are done with invisible ink; you cannot see it with
the natural eye, but only with a spiritual eye. The paint I use comes from the
seven coloured rainbow, which represents the Holy Spirit. Please close your
natural eyes and open your spiritual eyes now. For I am going to paint a
picture for you called….
THE GOLDEN RAINBOW
I looked, and Behold I saw thunder and lighting and smoke
around the throne of “I AM’.
There were many colours that have the appearance of the
rainbow. The rainbow surrounds the throne of “I AM’. At that moment I saw the
rainbow touch the ground.
Father (I AM) opened my eyes and said unto me. “There is a
POT of GOLD at the end of the rainbow. Grab a spade and start to dig and dig
and dig till I strike GOLD. My servant, I want to present a divine TRUTH to
you. For the ground which the rainbow touched is my WORD as written in the Torah. The rainbow is the Holy Spirit and when He
touches the ground of my WORD (The Torah) that is where you must read and he
will give you a divine revelation.
As you dig and dig and dig you will strike the POT of GOLD you have
been looking for all your life. The Gospel
According to Thomas Chapter4:9 ,7:5 , 8:7,
13:6,7
You see my servant,
“I AM” THE
POT OF GOLD AND WHEN YOU DISCOVER ME AND MY SON you will also receive LIFE,
TRUTH AND RICHES which are beyond your natural understanding. If you search for
Me with all your heart, I will reveal myself to you and have fellowship with
you, for that is the REASON why I came.
FOR I AM YOUR KING AND I DELIGHT
IN YOU”
A true story called the pot of
gold
The north aisle of the church o Saint Peter and Paul at Swaffham,
Norfolk, England was built with money donated by the benefactor, John Chapman.
Chapman was a poor peddler until he had a strange dream in which he was told
that he would meet a man on London Bridge who would bring him a great deal of
good fortune.
John Chapman walked the 160 kilometres (100 miles) to London. For 3
days and 3 nights he stayed on London Bridge, but no one approached him.
Eventually, he was silly to have taken notice of his dream. He was about to set
off back to Swaffham, when a shopkeeper came up to him and asked why he had
been standing there for 3 days. Chapmen
recounted his strange dream.
The shopkeeper laughed at John’s story and said “Why, if I took notice
of my dreams, I would be in the town of Swaffham, Norfolk right now. For I
dreamt that a man called John Chapman
has a pot of gold buried in his garden. So, when John Chapmen got back home he
got a spade and dug and dug and dug and he found the pot of gold buried there. John
Chapmen was so grateful; he donated some of his find to the local church.
How more important is it to dig in the WORD of God. For there is hidden
treasure for those who go looking. Let us look at Matthew 5:14-16
You are the light of the world. Our light should be put on a stand.
Why? So men can see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.
Mark 4:21-23
4:21 And he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a
bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?
4:22 For there is nothing hid,
which shall not be manifested; neither was anything kept secret, but that it
should come abroad. The Gospel According to
Thomas Chapter 1:1-3
4:23 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear
Luke 8:16, 17
8:16 No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel,
or putteth [it] under a bed; but setteth [it] on a candlestick, that they which
enter in may see the light.
8:17 For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither
[anything] hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.
Seek ye first the Kingdom of God
and His Righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you. - Matt.
6:33.
If thine eye be
single thy whole body shall be full of light. - Matt. 6:22.
The eye of the
soul is the will. If your one desire is My Kingdom, to find that Kingdom, to
serve that Kingdom, then truly shall your whole body be full of Light.
When you are told
to seek first the Kingdom of God, the first step is to secure that your will is
for that Kingdom. A single eye to God's glory. Desiring nothing less than that
His Kingdom come. Seeking in all things the advance of His Kingdom.
Know no values but
Spiritual values. No profit but that of Spiritual gain. Seek in all things His
Kingdom first.
Only seek material
gain when that gain will mean a gain for My Kingdom. Get away from money values
altogether. Walk with Me. Learn of Me. Talk to Me. Here lies your true
happiness.
Three things seen clearly here.
- The unbeliever can see Father through
our good deeds and moral excellence.
- If we walk in the light, that light
will expose all kinds of darkness (evil). http://www.twolisteners.org/
- People are drawn to the light.
I went on a camp near Foster which has a big lake. A Friend brought his
boat and took his young family on the lake to Foster about 45 minutes away. By
the time they left it was getting dark. They used a small torch that was pretty
useless and managed to get lost it pitch blackness.
They noticed some lights far in the distance and decided to aim for the
light where we were.
Father was on their side because they chose the correct light.
The motto of the story is: “They
were drawn to the LIGHT”.
The reason people come to Father is that they are drawn to the light,
same as Moses was drawn to the light.
Exodus 3:2-3
3:2 And the angel of the "I AM" appeared unto him in a flame
of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he
looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush [was] not
consumed.
3:3 And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.
As you study and
observe you will notice that Father uses Moses senses to call him. The main
sense used was his sight. You will find that most people who come to know
Father is by what they look at. They observe you and me in the way we conduct
ourselves by our manners, being polite, kind and thoughtful.
If you want to win souls for
Christ, then live a life that is worthy of your calling.
- You are all called to be Christ-like.
- You are the only light that they may
see.
Father has left His fingerprint on your life so others can see you are
marked by Him.
The lost are drawn to you and me because they see the image of the
living Father “I AM” and Jesus Christ abiding in us. Everyone wants to be identified
with something important.
Something that is unique, different and inspiring.
The whole world is looking for something, is it a saviour? I say yes,
they are looking for a saviour who can give an answer to our lives problems.
They are looking for a man with a good IMAGE. Today, there are too many pansies around who
have NO backbone, who wimp out, cannot be trusted and almost guaranteed to let
you down. They need a man with a good image. YOU are the Man, You are the
women. You are the closest person that they may see that is made in Fathers
image.
Romans 8:28-31
8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that
love God, to them who are the called according to [His] purpose.
8:29 For whom He did foreknow, He also did predestinate [to be] conformed to the image of His Son, that he might be the
firstborn among many brethren.
8:30 Moreover whom He did predestinate, them He also called: and whom
He called, them He also justified: and whom He justified, them He also
glorified.
8:31 What shall we then say to these things? If God [be] for us, who
[can be] against us?
Ephesians 4:15 Speaking TRUTH in LOVE, may we GROW UP
into HIM in all things, who is the head, CHRIST.
1 Peter3:15
3:15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and [be] ready always to
[give] an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in
you with meekness and fear:
3:16 Having a good conscience;
that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that
falsely accuse your good conversation in
Christ.
3:17 For [it is] better, if the Will of God be so, that ye suffer for
well doing, than for evil doing.
3:18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put
to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
3:19 by which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison; Slaves to The System.
Father also revealed to me that the eagles represent the perfect Jew,
the perfect Christian and the perfect Moslem. If you belong to one of the
faiths here and are hiding your picture or painting under the mattress, you
have failed to understand FATHERS agenda.
Also at the same time the
painting also represents the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Not only do you bury your story
under the mattress but you also bury the Father, son and Holy Spirit in the same process. In fact, you are not
living to tell HIS STORY but your story.
History or HIS-STORY will be
revealed one day.
THE QUESTION IS?
“WHICH STORY WOULD YOU LIKE TO
TELL”
Conclusion
Father’s favourite hobby is painting pictures of HIS
IMAGE in you.
The picture you now have, are you willing to lift it up
in a gallery for all to see!
Father desire for you is to be “ART FOR LIFE”.
If you are willing, allow Father to draw His picture in
your life,
For He is the Master Craftsman.
Let God paint your Canvas! For when he paints, He does
only one part at a time.
The painting will progress, but there is always
conditions attached.
But that is another story for another time.
Today Father would say “Let Me paint your Canvas”.
Amen to that.
The Gospel According to Thomas Chapter 1:1-3
1:1 These are the coded words which the Living Jesus spoke and Didymos (twin)
Judas Thomas wrote.
1:2 And He said: Whoever finds the explanation of these words will not taste death.
1:3 Jesus said: Let
him who seeks [the Truth], not cease seeking until he finds, and when he finds,
he will be troubled (by
the truth about his "Self" and by the rest of the world, who, like
his "Self" are drunk on Satan's lies - Rev. 12:9), and when he has
been troubled (overcomes his "Self" and the world),
1:13 Jesus said: Do
not lie; and do not do what you hate (keep The Commandments and do God's Will), for all things are
manifest before Heaven (God knows it all: He knows what is in the heavens, and
what is on earth. And God has power over all things. - Koran Sura 3:29 and He
knows everything you have ever done; said and thought). For there is nothing
hidden that shall not be revealed and there is nothing covered that shall
remain without being uncovered.
The Gospel According to Thomas Chapter4:9
Jesus saw children who were being suckled. He
said to his disciples: These children who are being suckled are like those who
enter the Kingdom. (El Shaddai - the
Breasted One - God). A baby suckling has only one
source of nourishment and can have no other. Those who enter the Kingdom have
ONLY God as their supply of Spiritual food and no other.
7:5 Jesus said: Become
"Passers-by" (do not become
attached to anybody or anything other than God; Christ and the Truth).
8:7 Jesus said: Blessed are the
solitary and Elect, for you shall find the Kingdom; because you come from it
and you shall go there again.
13:5 Jesus said: Many are
standing at the door, but the solitary
(who are dependent on nobody and nothing except God) are the ones who will
enter the Bridal Chamber (the New Jerusalem).
13:6 Jesus said: The Kingdom of
the Father is like a man, a merchant, who possessed merchandise (worldly
substance) and found a pearl-- pot of
gold (the Truth). That merchant was prudent. He sold the merchandise, he
bought the one pearl for himself (gave
up his worldly possessions to possess the Truth).
13:7 Do you also seek for the
treasure which fails not (God's Promise
of Eternal Life), which endures, there [in heaven] where no moth comes near
to devour and where no worm destroys.
15:18 Jesus said: Whoever drinks [the Water of Life] from My mouth (believes the words I speak)
shall become as I am and I myself will become he (My "Self" is
crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I [the "Self"],
but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by
the faith of the Son of God - Gal. 2:20), and
the hidden things shall be revealed to him (John 16:7-13).
